Émile Gallé : l'amour de l'art - Les écrits artistiques du maître de l’Art nouveauDates:1.1.2050-1.1.2999Emile Galle is - if not the master of Art Nouveau - at least one of its major artists. After decades of neglect, his works are now widely recognized and his artistic ideas were recorded by him in numerous writings (articles, letters, forewords, records show ...).
In 1908, four years after his death, his widow wrote a first selection of his texts under the title "Writing for Art" (reprinted in this volume). In The Art of Love, François Le Tacon has assembled all Gallé's writings related to art, supplemented by descriptions of important masterpieces by Gallé himself (Table Flore de Lorraine, Way to Fall, Field of Blood, for example) and the description of many pieces held by exceptional collectors as Robert de Montesquiou.
All these texts and descriptions are illustrated with color reproductions of works by Gallé (works, drawings, sketches ...). The publication of Gallé's texts gathered under the title "L'Amour de l'Art", is organized around six thematic sections : Considerations on Art, Art and Industry, The School of Nancy, Ceramics, Glass, Wood.
Edition established and annotated by François Le Tacon. 2010. Format 20 x 26 cm. 360 pages in color, with approximately 100 reproductions of works. Hardback bound, color coated with dust jacket. Price: 35 euros.

Rigas Jugendstils Interjers - Art Nouveau in Riga InteriorDates:1.1.2050-1.1.2999This book was created to resemble a walk through an Art Nouveau apartment where one can view carious interior styles and new technological innovations, as well as get a feeling of the typical changes affecting city life in the early 20th c.

René Lalique, correspondance d’un bijoutier Art nouveau, 1890-1908Dates:1.1.2050-1.1.2999What was René Lalique like in his daily life, he who was a sacred monster, a friend of Sarah Bernhardt's, the jeweller of the tzars ad of the Queen of England? A collection of letters helps give us an idea of the creator's exciting existence . They are dated between 1890 and 1908 – he was between 30 and 48 years old – and spend a good part of his existence traveling: to London (to see Garrard, the Crown's jeweller), to America (for the international exhibition at Saint-Louis in 1904), to Geneva, to Saint-Petersburg (we are treated to an amusing story of an ad venture at the customs, since the over-orderly Lalique had forgotten his passport). Young Alice – his second wife - regretted his absence. She champed at teh bit in Paris, tried to get distracted in Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, wondered if she would dare ride a bicycle. One can feel the drama before it arrives: worn out by depression, she committed suicide in 1909. We also discover all his artistic friendships, long term ones or for specific projects: Oriental artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, young Gallé or writer Jule s Claretie who ordered an ink well "with lots of ink"…

Art Nouveau - Villa Ortiz Basualdo - Mar Del Plata - Serrrurier-BovyDates:1.1.2050-1.1.2999From its origins in Europe, Art Nouveau spread to South America, and to Argentina in particular, due to the strong influence of European culture at the end of the nineteenth century. Gustave Serrurier-Bovy, who had already designed and manufactured furniture for many European clients, was commissioned to design the furniture and interiors of a holiday villa in the Argentinian seaside resort of Mar del Plata : the Ortiz Basualdo villa. Today the villa, the only one of its type to have survived with its original interiors and furniture intact, is a municipal museum.
